Hull City news RECAP as Max Clark set to be latest to depart, Championship club sees Hakeeb Adelakun bid turned down

Hull City have not kept hold of any of of their out of contract players this summer and now it seems certain the last remaining player yet to finalise a deal at the club will depart too.

The Mail understands Max Clark will reject the offer tabled by the Tigers after they failed to budge on the financial terms offered, and will rather reluctantly depart the club when his contract ends at City at the end of this month.

City linked with Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones

A bit of transfer news late in the day. According to the Daily Mail, City are ready to bid £600,000 to sign Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones.

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because the Tigers were previously touted as a suitor for the 23-year-old back in January. Nigel Adkins denied that at the time but City’s head coach is certainly in the market for a new winger this summer.

FULL-TIME: Poland 1 Senegal 2

Poland gave it a good go in the latter stages but it was too little, too late for Kamil Grosicki and his countryman. They’ll have to better when they face Colombia on Sunday or they could be heading for an early exit.

17:48

GOAL FOR POLAND

Is that a glimmer of hope? Grzegorz Krychowiak has made it 2-1 but there’s just three minutes to play. It was a lovely free-kick from Grosicki for his team-mate to head in.

17:31

Poland staring down the barrel

It’s hard to imagine how this opening game could have gone worse for Poland. They’ve been terrible so far. Sloppy all over the pitch, including Kamil Grosicki.

17:22

GOAL FOR SENEGAL

And it’s a nightmare for Poland. Wretched backpass is pounced upon by Mbaye Niang, who rounds the keeper to tap into an empty net. Dreadful goal to concede. Kamil Grosicki and co have it all to do now at 2-0 down.

17:17

Second half underway

Signs of attacking life at last from Poland. Robert Lewandowski, so often his nation’s hero, is starting to come to the fore. Still 1-0 to Senegal.

16:50

HALF-TIME

That’s certainly not how Kamil Grosicki will have wanted his World Cup bow to go. Hull City’s winger has not been able to hurt a powerful Senegal team, who lead 1-0 through Gueye’s deflected strike. Poland have a big 45 minutes ahead in their bid to progress out of Group H.

16:41

GOAL FOR SENEGAL

Not good news for Kamil Grosicki, his Poland team are 1-0 down following a fortunate opener for Senegal. Idrissa Gueye’s deflected shot, the first on target from either side, has made the difference. Surely that will lead to a more entertaining second half.

16:35

Tepid stuff in Moscow

Plenty of City fans will be watching Poland against Senegal but none of them can pretend to be enjoying it. Low-risk, dismal first half so far. Two teams unwilling to take a chance. Come on, Kamil, find a spark...

Grosicki's big day has a tight opening

Kamil Grosicki’s World Cup debut is underway and it’s so far 0-0 between Poland and Senegal. A half chance for the City winger already but no breakthrough as yet in a crucial Group H fixture.

City announce Carabao Cup date

Hull City will travel to Sheffield United on Tuesday August 14 in the opening round of the Carabao Cup.

Kicking off at 7.45pm, the Tigers will take part in the first round of the cup for the first time since beating Rotherham United in 2012/13.

Ticket details will be announced closer to the game.

15:10

Grosicki starts!

Kamil Grosicki starts for Poland this afternoon as they take on Senegal.

He will face up against a familiar face in Alfred N’Diaye who spent half a season on loan at City in 2017.

The wait is almost over. Hull City fans will be able to plot the club’s Championship season on Thursday as the Football League releases its fixtures for the new campaign.

City fans will be looking out for several key dates but none are more exciting than the opening fixture as the Tigers embark on the long season ahead.

Optimism may be in short supply as it stands after a difficult Championship campaign last time out, but next season Nigel Adkins has stated his aspirations to be challenging at the other end of the table and an opening day win would no doubt go a long way towards that.

Over the years City have enjoyed mixed fortunes on the first day of the season, but we want to know which opening game is your favourite.

12:31

Does this suggest Grosicki is starting today?

With just three and a half hours until Poland kick off against Senegal, Grosicki has taken to Twitter with a picture of his shirt.

Bristol City see bid rejected for Adelakun

Bristol City have reportedly seen a compensation package to sign Hakeeb Adelakun rejected by Scunthorpe United.

The winger is out of contract this summer after rejecting a deal to stay at Glanford Park and according to Sky Sports Bristol City have seen an offer turned down.

Given the winger’s age Scunthorpe would be entitled to remuneration, but it may take a tribunal in order to settle on a specific figure.

Hull City and Nottingham Forest have also been linked with Adelakun this summer.

Hull City table contract offer to former QPR defender Nedum Onuoha

Hull City have stepped up their interest in Nedum Onuoha by offering the former Manchester City and QPR defender a deal at the KCOM Stadium.

As reported last week, Nigel Adkins is keen on landing Onuoha as he attempts to bolster his defensive ranks ahead of pre-season beginning next week.

Here's today's Championship news

According to the Arab News, the former Barcelona man has an £18million release clause at the Riverside Stadium and the French giants are willing to take a punt on him in order to boost their attacking options.

Adama Traore of Middlesbrough

Traore lit up the Championship at times last season, particularly in the second half of the campaign under Tony Pulis, driving Boro up the table to seal a play-off spot.

Despite his good form - bagging five goals and ten assists - he could not see the Teessiders to the Premier League as they lost to Aston Villa in the semi-finals.

Hull City academy product Scott Wiseman has signed for Salford

Scott Wiseman has signed for National League newcomers Salford City after leaving Chesterfield this summer.

The defender only joined Chesterfield last summer but spent the second half of the season on loan at Rochdale, helping the League One club survive relegation, something his parent club failed to do as the Spireites.

09:55

Hernandez attracting yet more interest

Cardiff City and Serie A side Cagliari have joined the race to sign former Hull City striker Abel Hernandez this summer.

The striker is available on a free transfer after rejecting a deal to extend his stay at the KCOM Stadium into the new season, bringing his four-year stint in East Yorkshire to an end.

Hernandez scored eight goals in ten games for the Tigers in the Championship last season in a campaign that was severely hampered by injury and his impressive haul has alerted a number of clubs of his availability.

'Dead proud', 'exceptional' and 'a human shire horse' - what Hull City and England fans are saying about Harry Maguire

England got off to a winning start last night in the FIFA World Cup by beating Tunisia 2-1 and former Hull City defender Harry Maguire was at the heart of it.

Although he had just 5 caps under his belt the Three Lions took to the field on Volgograd, Maguire was named in the starting XI alongside John Stones and Kyle Walker at the back.

Despite his inexperience at international level, though, the 25-year-old was one of the shining lights for Gareth Southgate’s side and has been singled out for praise by fans and media alike.

Just a reminder

It’s two days to go until the Championship fixtures are announced. We’ll have all bases covered right here on Hull Live.

Kamil Grosicki is in action today

The Hull City winger will be hoping to start this afternoon as Poland take on Senegal in the World Cup.

The Polish kick off at 4pm in Moscow and will hope to get their first World Cup campaign in 12 years off to a winning start.

We’ll be cheering you on, Kamil!

This man though!

Harry Maguire was a man mountain at the back last night for England.

Here’s a glimpse at his stats

City will be due a fee if Clark leaves

Hull City will be due a fee should Max Clark opt to leave the club this summer.

Depending on where he ends up next season the Tigers are hoping to pick up £1m for the defender as FIFA rules dictate a compensation tariff must be paid for a player under the age of 24.

However, should he move abroad City stand to receive £400,000.

Have City done enough?

Max Clark will go because he feels the contract offer from the club is not what he was hoping for.

Have the Tigers done enough to keep him or has their frugal approach cost the club a bright young talent?

Good morning

It’s not the news Hull City fans will want to be waking up to.

Still no signings made and now it’s our understanding the last of the out of contract players will be off too.

Full story below.
